RSS feeds for pages only pull in the comments of the page, since that is the only live content on a page.
If you’re looking for a feed of your site’s posts, that’s example.com/feed/

Hi James, thanks for your insight.
I took a look at the URL you sent for more info.
I’m trying to set up WordPress with MailChimp, so it sends out emails when there’s a new blog available. In all the guides I have found, they tell me to enter the URL of the blog and not the main domain, so example.com/blog.
What I still don’t understand is when I use example.com/blog, that RSS URL would be example.com/blog/feed/, right?
When I go to that URL it still pulls up the weird formatting, so instead of <title>pagetitle</title>
it looks like
<title>
Comments on: pagetitle </title>
I checked other websites and they are not pulling up the “Comments on:” in front of the title.
If your WordPress site is at example.com even if the blog page is at example.com/blog/ then your feed URL is example.com/feed/
Still seems strange to me that the tutorial says:
“Next, you’ll need to specify your RSS feed URL and choose your sending time. If you’re not sure about your RSS feed URL, you can simply specify your blog URL.”
And they go on to write “example.com/blog/” for the RSS feed URL.
I’m probably not understand the relationship and just have to test it out by sending some test emails.
Thanks again for your quick help – that was great.
If your WordPress installation is at example.com but your posts page is example.com/blog/ your blog URL is still example.com
Have you tried example.com/feed/ yet as outlined at https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/article/wordpress-feeds/#finding-your-feed-url ?
As you mentioned from the beginning, example.com/feed/ is where it’s pulling my articles from, even if my blog is in a subfolder. The tutorials just confused me by writing out the entire path with the subfolder included.
But it works great just using example.com/feed/, so thank you for your patience and continued help!
